It can be seen that in every small loop resistor, 1 ohm is in series with another 1Ω resistor and two 2Ω  are also in series and we have 4 loops,

So, the equivalent resistance of one loop is equal to the parallel combination of 2 Ω and 4 Ω.  that is,

Equivalent\ R_{loop}=\frac{2*4}{2+4}=\frac{8}{6}=\frac{4}{3}

Now we have 4 such loops in a series so, 

Total\ Equivalent\ R_{loop}=\frac{4}{3}+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{4}{3}=\frac{16}{3}

Hence, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is \frac{16}{3}\Omega.
